In this People & Performance podcast episode, we explore claims that the approach called Design Thinking is going to become a game-changer for HR processes.

Design Thinking is a process for creative problem solving that’s helping HR teams across the globe deliver value, organize work and find solutions.

At first glance, product design and HR feel about as far apart as any two aspects of work can get. 

The approach, however, has been lauded by many industry experts as a powerful approach that solves problems through a human-centric lens. 

Josh Bersin, suggests “Design Thinking … transforms HR from a “process developer” into an “experience architect.” It empowers HR to reimagine every aspect of work: the physical environment; how people meet and interact; how managers spend their time; and how companies select, train, engage, and evaluate people.”

Our guest expert is Glenn Donaldson, Chief Customer Officer, and President of intelliHR Americas. Glenn is a specialist in HR technology, with expertise and passion for product strategy, customer success, and business expansion. And he’s joining us from all the way Down Under.

Stay tuned as we delve into design thinking transformation!

Questions Include: 

• Can you start by explaining the differences between it and the traditional “waterfall” project management approach; where projects are divided into different stages and each stage has to be completed before the project can move on to the next one?
• So in the “waterfall” project management approach projects are often led by a senior executive and hierarchy is fairly rigid. Talk to us about the autonomy Design Thinking gives to teams and how that can keep them ahead of the competition? 
• Design Thinking brings a “Human-Centric Approach” that is present in every single step of the design process. Teams using Design Thinking correctly can be empowered and accountable to gather user insights that start with the question: “How might we”. Why is

Most organizations invest 90-100% of HR resources in operations and only 10% in data and planning. Furthermore, too many CEOs make the majority of their decisions based on HR data! Rupert believes the current mindset in many boardrooms “needs to change if organizations want to be forward-proof and prosperous“.

The pandemic showed us that organizations can't stay still if they want to remain successful. Companies need to continuously adapt and evolve.

It's not easy to change an organization's vision and practices but it can really pay off. This episode will include discussion of the why and how organizational planning and analysis keeps business agile and set up to grow in sustainable ways. In fact, as part of today's conversation, Rupert is going to share findings showing a 2-fold increase in productivity when certain org design approaches are adopted.

In episode 1 of the second season of the People and Performance podcast, Chris and Bill are joined by Rupert Morrison, CEO at orgvue, a global HR and organizational planning company that believes that the brightest business leaders need to “design for disruption and turn it into a competitive advantage”.

In this HRchat we'll delve into the psychology of hiring and the tools available to potentially remove bias from the recruitment and onboarding stages of the employee life cycle.

Bill's guest this time is Dr. Charles Handler, a thought leader, analyst, and practitioner in the talent assessment and human capital space. Throughout his career, Dr. Handler has specialized in developing effective, legally defensible employee selection systems.

Since 2001 Dr. Handler has served as the president and founder of Rocket-Hire, a vendor-neutral consultancy dedicated to creating and driving innovation in talent assessment. Dr. Handler has helped companies such as Intuit, Wells Fargo, KPMG, Scotia Bank, Hilton Worldwide, and Humana to design, implement, and measure impactful employee selection processes.

Through his podcast Science 4-Hire, his prolific writing for media outlets such as ERE.net, his work as a pre-hire assessment analyst for Bersin by Deloitte, and worldwide public speaking, Dr. Handler is a highly visible futurist and evangelist for the talent assessment space.

Throughout his career, Dr. Handler has been on the forefront of innovation in the talent assessment space, applying his sound foundation in psychometrics to helping drive innovation in assessments through the use of gaming, social media, big data, and other advanced technologies.

Questions include:

* What is the most common mistake when it comes to talent assessment?
* Doesn't talent assessment promote biased decision-making? Where does skills-based hiring fit in?
* Why are humans inherently flawed in evaluating candidate capabilities and is AI finally ready to step up and remove inherent biases?
* How has the global remote work experiment of 2020-21 influenced what companies think about how they can manage employees?
